Keep a close eye on your tenants - 2008 - Estates Gazette (0848) 6 December 2008, 95(1) .

Article introduces the complexities of Rent Act 1977 protected tenancies and offers advice for landlords seeking possession. Discusses discretionary and mandatory grounds for possession, the need to provide suitable alternative accommodation and the need to establish the true residence of a tenancy (in cases where statutory tenants may not be occupying a property, but claim to still do so). Advises that landlords should keep in regular contact with their tenants, should not ignore signs that tenants have moved out and should consider evidence provided by tenants to prove ongoing tenancy should be assessed critically.
